Re: Spirit award
The spirit award is not just how much you yell, or how many banners you wave (albeit this is a big part) most teams at competition do this. In order to win the spirit award, you need to make your team distinct and stand out. When a judge looks into the stands, there are 64 teams all standing and yelling at the top of their lungs. What is going to make the judges remember your team?
My team won the spirit award in 2011 because of how visible we were. Our shirts were distinct, our buttons were all over the place, and our drive team all dressed like doctors (our robots name was Dr. Aughun). By having something distinct, clear, and visible, the judges remembered our number when it came to judging.
All though you need to cheer as loud as you can, strong team branding is the key to wining the Team Spirit Award.
